JCP Maltus, Vieux Château Mazerat Kosher 2021
" A new acquisition by proprietor Jonathan Maltus, who sold Grand Destieu in order to upgrade to this terroir, this 10-acre vineyard is planted with 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernet Franc. It is situated near several of the premier grand cru classes of St.-Émilion, including both Beausejours and Angelus ." Robert M. Parker, Jr. Vieux Château Mazerat is surrounded by Château Canon on three sides and by Château Angelus on the west; stuck in the middle of ‘Cru Classé’ territory and it faces Château Beausejour Duffau Lagarosse. The vineyard is a mixture of very old Cabernet Franc vines and Merlot on clay over limestone.
Pommard Premier Cru, Clos Des Épeneaux, Domaine Comte Armand 2021
The appellation’s grandest domaine, Comte Armand has been overseen by winemaker Paul Zinetti since 2014. Although it takes many years to reach its full potential, it’s worth the wait as with maturity Épeneux is like a universe in a glass, exploding exponentially in all directions at once. It has great intensity and a weight of rich fruit and impressively structured tannins but like great Barolo, it shows lively floral, elegance and purity too. As long-lived as many of the Côtes de Nuits’ most renowned wines, it has long been contended that if ever one Côte de Beaune wine deserves elevation to Grand Cru, this is it.
